| - I checked out the SanTan Brewing Company last Friday when I attended #EVFN and, unlike Evo, I arrived a little later and didn't witness the great level of service that Evo detailed in his review.
I will say, however, that I was served very quickly and that the server was very attentive, remembering my name later in the evening. Obviously, she was paying attention because the place was filled to the gunnels and was, funnily-enough, rather noisy. Who'd have thunk? LOL
The nachos were ok. That's the best rating I can give them. Had the kitchen used grated cheese instead of Cheese Wizz (it may have been Kraft cheese slices melted; I'm not sure, but either way), I would probably be less critical. I'll give them a pass because nachos are not known for being a brew pub specialty. You might ask, well, why did you order those knowing they're not a specialty. Good question...well, they didn't have a gluten-free menu, so I looked for something resembling a GF dish and the server was kind enough to confirm with the cooks/chefs that indeed that was the case.
I'll go back. It was decent. But, to get four or five stars, I'd like to see at least one more GF option on the menu (and have that indicated in some way, even if it's a sticker next to the item) and not have the tip automatically-included when my credit card is run. I understand I was one of a group, but I didn't feel that I was because I kept a separate tab. That was a little annoying and presumptuous. BTW, I would have tipped her at least the amount on the bill, so my cheapness, nay, frugality, wasn't the issue (come on, do you mean to say you haven't heard the joke about copper wire being invented by two Scotsmen fighting over a penny? Well, you have now. LOL). Anyway, I'll update the review following my next visit to SanTan Brewing Company, which should hopefully be sometime soon! :)
